I’m not sure that her focus on the past is very good for her future, though. This interview, like her book, detract from what John Tantillo (Fox News blogger and Palin fan) calls her “forward motion”–which is what made her interesting in the first place. http://blog.marketingdoctor.tv/2009/11/17/tantillos-brand-winner-and-loser-khalid-sheikh-mohammed-and-sarah-palin.aspx

I think Sarah handled the Katie question quite well, although she refrained from using the term “the perky one” like she did on Oprah. I have seen some folks calling for CBS to release the entire unedited interviews with Palin (which they have never done) so the viewing public can see the full interaction, as opposed to the edits that Ms. Couric (the “annoying one”) and CBS put together in their efforts to undermine the first female Republican VP candidate.

I just got the book and look forward to reading what Palin herself says (“unfiltered”) about this CBS hit job. Republicans should learn a hard lesson from the media’s attacks on Mrs. Palin — never participate in an interview with MSM unless you have your own camera crew to record the segments yourself.
